The Urban Facelift Project #12 (1715 N Main Street)
Yes, its another Springfield property. We’ve always liked the massing and potential of this building and recently noticed that it is being renovated, having recently been freshly painted, and will be opening soon as a fish market. Obviously we’ve headed in a little bit of a different direction on the color scheme than the owners, sticking with bold colors, but making the major color in the green family with the magenta toned down a bit and used as the signage color.
We have no idea what they are doing awning and signage wise, but we went the graphic route with a sign that would hopefully grab the traffic’s attention as they walk, bike, or drive by. As always the awnings play a large part of the UFP. This time we thought a metal standing seam awning with heavy wood frames would provide an industrial nautical feel and protection that would appeal to potential customers. So, take a look below at Urban Facelift Project #12

Nice!
Only thing I’d like to see different is all of the storefronts back at the same plane to give just that little extra room for pedestrians. I love the green!
I would shop there. Looks like a nice safe place to go that could be next to any Wharf.

Great stuff guys. Will you be sticking it to their front window? Hopefully they will be willing to take (and spend on) some constructive suggestions!
